The Indiana Pacers played one of their best games of the season as a team, sending the New York Knicks into the ether to pick up their second straight win. The Pacers spotted New York four points to start, but scored the next 12, giving them the lead the rest of the way for the smooth, dominating victory.
Indiana’s offense hummed all night, scoring 70 first half points on 60% shooting and barely letting up in the second half, outscoring New York by seven in the third. They had 26 fast break points, assisted on 27 baskets, and shot an efficient 10-27 from three point range, getting a ton of points on cuts to the baskets, leading to 60 points in the paint.
